UNITED STATES PATENT "OFFICE;

ALFRED T. KRUSE, OF DEFIANCE, OHIO, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO THE IAMERICAN STEEL PACKAGE COMPANY, OF DEFIANCE, OHIO, A COR- PORATION OFOHIO, AND ONE-HALF TO HARRY H. WILLOCK, OF PITTS- BURG, PENNSYLVANIA.

METALLIC BARREL.

Be it known'tliat 'I',"ALFRED T. KRUSE, a citizen of the United States,residin at Defi- Ohio, have invented new and useful Im- .provements inMetallic Barrels, of which .the following is a specification.

My invention relates to" improvements in metallic barrels and similarvessels of that class or type designed to carry fluids or othersubstances which necessitates a fluid or liquid tight rece tacle;

The cylin 'cal wall and the ends of my improved metallic barrel orvessel are stamped, drawn, or spun from sheets or blanks of metal unitedtogether at their meeting edges to form a fluid-ti ht barrel or package;and the paramount o jlect of my invention is to produce a general yimproved vessel of this classwhich will be exceedin lysim ple inconstruction, cheap of man actur'e, and efiicient in use, and whichwill'be better adapted to its intended purposes /than any other deviceof the same class with which I am an uainted.

' Wit these ends in view the invention consists in the novelconstruction, arrangement, and combination of arts-hereinafterdescribed, illustrated in t e accompanying drawings and particularlypointed out in the a'ppende claims.

Referring to the accompanying drawings,

. forming a part of this specification, Figure 1 is a centrallongitudinal section showing a completed sheet-metal barrel having themeeting edges of the cylindrical wall and the ends thereof bent over andabout to form an annular beading or chime. Fig. 2 represents a top planview of the same. Fig. 3 represents an enlarged detail sectional view ofthe annular beading or chime formed b the meeting edges of the clindrical side an ends. Fig. 4-is an enlar ed etail sectional view of amodification of t e annular beading or chime formed by'the meeting edgesof the cylindrical side and ends.

Similar numerals of reference indicate like parts throughout all thefigures of the drawlugs.

nates the cylindrical wall or body portion of the improved vessel.

2 designates a series of circumferential outwardly-extending corruations, the central in the present instance with an iron ring or wire 2disposed within thesame for strengthening purposes. Any number or all ofthe corrugations, however, may be provided with a similar ring or wire,if found necessary or desirable.

3 designates a series of corrugations formed about the cylindrical wallor body portion of the barrel or vessel near the edges thereof andforming shoulders 3, adapted to abut up against the annularbeading orchime hereina erdescribed. I

5 designates the ends,'bent in the present instance into a slightlyooncavo-oonvex shape and provided with a central raised or dishedportion 6 and a series of radially-ex tending outwardly-projecting ribsor corrugations 7. k

8 designates an annular beading or chime formed with and about the ed esofthe ends 5.

9 designates a correspon ing beading or chime formed with and about theedges of the c' lindrical wall or body portion of the barrel or vesseland bent over and about the beading 8 to form a second 'or doublebeading with and about the meeting edges of the cylindrical Wall 1 andends5, whereby the same are greatly stiffened and strengthened at thispoint. I

If desired, a wire similar to the wire 2 may be inclosed within thedouble beading formed as above, and the annular beadin s or chimes 8 and9 may be joined and'wel ed together by the electric or other suitablewelding process to form a single integral structure.

10 designates a flange-plate mounted ina suitable opening formed in oneof the ends 5 of the barrel or vessel and threaded to receive a plug 11,screwed therein.

resorted to without departing from the principles or sacrificing any ofthe advantages of this invention.

Having thus described my invention, without having attempted to setforth all the forms in which it may be made or all the modes of its use,I declare that what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A metallic barrel, comprising a cylindrical wall or main bodyportion, ends secured thereto, of concavo-convex shape and provided withthe series of radially-extending corrugations, an annular beading orchime formed about the meeting edges of said ends and main body portionand a series of corrugated shoulders formed in the cylindrical wall andabutting against said annular beading or chime.

2. In a metallic barrel, a cylindrical wall or main body portion, anannular beading or chime formed about the ends thereof and taking over asimilarly-shaped beading formed about the heads, a series ofradially-extending ribs or corrugations formed in said heads, and aseries of corrugated supporting-shouL ders formed in said cylindricalwall and abut-- ting a ainst said annular beading or chime.

3. afeature of construction in metallic barrels, a cylindrical Wallprovided with a circumferential corrugation near its edges, an annularbeading or chime formed about the edges thereof, and a series ofstrengthening-shoulders formed therein and abuttin against saidcircumferential corrugation an said annular beading or chime.

4. In a metallic barrel or similar vessel, the combination with endsprovided with an an nular beading; of a cylindrical wall'secured theretoby having the edges thereof bent over and about said annular beading ofthe ends to form a double annular beadin or chime, and a series ofcorrugations provided with shoulders adapted to-abut against saidlast-mentioned beading.

5. As a feature of construction in metallic barrels, a'concavo-convexhead or end provided with an annular beading secured to the chime of abarrel provided with a series of strengthenin -shoulders abutting andsupporting the 0 'me.

6. In a cylindrical vessel, the combination with ends rovided with anannular beading; of a cylindi'ical wall provided with an annular-beadingsecured to said annular heading of the ends to form a double beading orchime, and a series of corrugations rovided with shoulders abuttingagainst sai double beading or chime.

7. A metallic barrel consisting of a cylindrical wallprovided with acircumferential corrugation near its edges, and ends secured ..t theedges thereof by means of a double beading or chime, and a series ofshoulders formed near the ends of said cylindrical wall 'and adapted toabut against said double beading or chime and said circumferentialcorrugation.

8. A cylindrical vessel, consisting. of ends provided with anannularbeading, a'cylindrical wall provided with an annular beadingsecured to said annular beading of the ends to form a double beading orchime, a series of circumferential outwardly-extending corrugationsformed therein, and a series of corrugated strengthening-shouldersformed therein and abutting against and supporting said double beadingor chime of theends.

9. A metallic barrel or similar vessel comprising a cylindrical wall, anannular beading formed about the ends thereof, a series of corrugationsformed near the end of said cylindrical wall and provided with shouldersabutting against and supporting said annular beading. c
